“Hey Squirtle, did you see someone familiar yet buddy?”
Squirtle was quite in a hurry today. He quickly took off in a sprint and Gary has a hard time keeping up with him. Boy, was this something. The Researcher groaned in annoyance.
“Squirtle, wait up! I’m trying to keep up.”
Squirtle was even stubborn himself. The turtle Pokemon pouted and looks at its Trainer. He was pointing something as if he saw a ghost.
“Alright, buddy. What are you trying to tell me?”
Then it dawned on him, Gary turned to see a girl in sporty clothes. Has he seen her before? Gary raised an eyebrow.
“Hold on, I think I know you.. You’re one of Ash’s traveling friends. Am I correct?” He inquired, unfortunately he does not remember her full name. “What was your name again? June? July?”
walking around mindlessly had quickly become may and torchic’s favorite pasttime. without other trainers, they didn’t have very much to do around hive city other than wander so it served to say that may had become pretty well acquainted with the city. she and torchic would walk around and battle the occasional wild pokemon that popped up, however without pokeballs they remained a two part team.
out of the two, torchic remained the more vigilant one. while he was fairly comfortable with the new surroundings, he stayed on alert whenever he and may were out and about. especially when her eyes went out of focus. that’s when he knew she wasn’t paying attention to anything around them anymore. it was fairly troublesome, especially as he was now--keeping her in line was a lot easier when he was a blaziken.
so, it went without saying that torchic was the first to notice the boy arrive. chirping and nipping at may’s exposed leg, he brought her attention away from that particularly fluffy looking cloud and toward the kid. though, she would have focused on him as soon as she realized that a) he had a squirtle with him, and b) he seemed to be familiar with her.
“---may... my name’s may. um, who’re you?”
